Missing data analysis in emotion recognition for smart applications

Abstract

Missing data is a widespread fundamental problem that cannot be ignored. It distorts the data, sometimes even to the point where it is impossible to analyze data at all. In emotion recognition, it is discovered that one of the best approaches to identify human emotions is by analyzing EEG (electroencephalography) results combined with peripheral signals. In this article EEG data is used to test which missing data techniques are more efficient and reliable in emotion recognition. During the research, created software is used for testing all the methods. The article concludes with techniques useful for missing data analysis, and applicable in emotion recognition applications.
